I build optimization and reinforcement learning methods for decisions that live on networks — pricing, diffusion, and allocation.
About
I create analytical and artificial intelligence methods for predictive and prescriptive business problems — particularly those best modeled as networks. My work blends reinforcement learning with optimization to guide how information, behavior, and resources spread through complex systems.
Before academia I spent fifteen years in industry and consulting across retail, supply chain, software development, and manufacturing. That experience shapes how I teach: the goal is always translating advanced analytical tools into decisions someone can actually act on.
My work appears in the European Journal of Operational Research, Expert Systems with Applications, and the International Journal of Production Economics, among other outlets.
